Disney World is a magical place that brings out the kid in all of us! It can also be a great place for adults to get away from it all and enjoy some time together. There are many hotels around Disney World that cater to adults, but not all of them offer quality service. In this blog post, we will discuss the best Disney hotels for adults by rating their amenities and how close they are to the parks.
Disney’s Beach Club Resort
The Beach Club is a less expensive option with tons of awesome perks for families, such as the Surf’s Up! Breakfast and an amazing pool area. The rooms are also on the smaller side but there is more than enough space to hang out with all your family members at one time in this resort.
For nighttime activities, it’s right next door to Epcot which makes going off-property easy when you want some adult fun after spending a day at Disney World. It’s also close by ESPN so if you’re looking for sports bars or unique shopping experiences that are different from what Disney Resort offers then this hotel will be perfect.
The Yacht Club has two pools – one inside and one outside – plus lots of dining options within, this resort is perfect for adults who love good food and gorgeous views.
Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge
An amazing safari experience awaits you at the Animal Kingdom Lodge.
One of the best features about this resort is its comprehensive fitness center, with a 12-station circuit training room that overlooks savanna animals! There are also two onsite restaurants, quick service options outside the main lodge entrance as well as lots of food choices in Disney Springs for more formal dining experiences. The rooms are spacious and have wonderful views of either forests or wildlife. They even offer safari tours around the property so you can experience Africa without having to leave Walt Disney World Resort at all!
The downside? This hotel is a little bit away from Epcot which can be an inconvenience if you’re looking for some nighttime adult time after spending a day at the park.
The Cabins at Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground
The Cabins at Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground are perfect for adults who want to escape the hustle and bustle of Disney World. It’s a great place to stay if you’re looking for peace, solitude, or just some time on your own away from all those people that fill up the parks during peak seasons.
If it’s more excitement you’re after then this resort offers activities like horseback riding, fishing, biking trails, campfires with live country music performances in its outdoor theater, hiking trails, and an arcade room – there is no shortage of things to do here. There are also plenty of dining options including family-friendly ones so don’t worry about not being able to find something

Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort
The Polynesian Village lies on the monorail, just a few minutes from Magic Kingdom. You’re transported to another world as soon as you enter its gates with lush gardens and beaches that make it feel like you’ve been taken away to an exotic paradise without ever leaving home.
One of Walt’s original ideas for Disney World was turned into this resort-inspired by his childhood fascination with Florida’s natural beauty: rivers, lakes, and marshes surrounded him in Central Florida growing up so he wanted visitors at Disney World to be able to experience those things too! The Polynesian village has all sorts of fun activities for kids while adults can explore the resort’s grounds or sunbathe next door at Hilton Head Island beach club.

Walt Disney World Swan & Dolphin Resorts
Our top pick in the Best Disney Hotels For Adults category
Walt Disney World Swan & Dolphin Resorts is a legendary resort that has been around for many years.
This hotel located in Lake Buena Vista, Florida was the first of its kind to be branded as “The Walt Disney Company’s” own luxury hotels and resorts.
The property underwent renovations from 2011-2013 which cost over $300 million dollars with a goal to keep up with current trends such as having more family suites (with kitchenettes) available or installing high tech features like individual climate control zones in each room while still maintaining an atmosphere of elegance throughout their public spaces and guest rooms so guests feel both at home yet special when they visit this iconic destination!

Disney’s Contemporary Resort
Disney World has 11 resorts, but none are quite like The Contemporary. This resort is sleek and modern with a spa on the premises that offers massages by day or night! But what really sets this hotel apart from its sister properties is its mind-blowing views of Bay Lake which offer an amazing backdrop for any Disney fan to see while staying here.
Disney’s Contemporary Resort is one of the original resorts at Disney World. It also has some great amenities for those who are looking to get away: two outdoor pools – including an Olympic-sized pool with a soft sand beach; boat rentals on Bay lake that offer scenic tours around Treehouse Point or over to Hollywood Studios (subject availability); bike rentals in case you want to explore more than just what can be seen by foot!
Disney’s Contemporary Resort was opened in 1971 as part of Walt Disney World®’s first wave of expansion which included hotels like The Polynesian Village Hotel & Bungalows®, Fort Wilderness Campground™, and golf courses.
